Close Out Your Summer at OctFest and Bushwig 2018
Pitchfork’s music festival is the perfect way to kiss summer goodbye!
It goes without saying that summer is the time in which we all try a little harder to be cool. Temperature wise? Well, yeah…but mostly in terms of where we go, what we do, and who we do it with. For those of you that may have missed out on previous summer extravaganzas—the countless festivals and rooftop parties where people gather and compete to see who can be the most stylish without appropriating someone’s culture—you have a few more opportunities to soak up NYC’s sunshine. This weekend, it’s time to make your festival vision board a reality.
Bushwig 2018
Probably the most magical thing to happen to planet earth, Bushwig 2018 is NYC’s celebration of queer and LGTBQ+ communities. Here’s the festival rundown: live music, dancing, Bushwig swag vendors, and live drag performances. Join Bushwig’s family of local artists, performers, and experience the wondrous diversity of the children of New York and beyond. Tickets start at $35. See you there!
